The following VBScript example creates a new XMLDOMNode (element) object, and then inserts it before the last child of the top-level node:
Dim xmlDoc
Dim root
Dim newNode
Dim currNode
Set xmlDoc = CreateObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument")
xmlDoc.async = False
xmlDoc.load("c:\books.xml")
Set root = xmlDoc.documentElement
MsgBox root.xml
Set newNode = xmlDoc.createNode (1, "VIDEOS", "")
Set currNode = root.insertBefore(newNode, root.lastChild)
MsgBox root.xml
